While of course i devoured Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince, the interview with JK on Richard and Judy a couple of weeks ago caused me to drag out some notes I made on my predictions for book 7 (don't judge me)...
First Things Dursley...
Harry will return to the Dursleys on Privet drive as he promised Dumbledore. Of Aunt Petunia, the mom's supposedly nonmagical sister, JK mentioned to Judy and Richard that there was more to her than meets the eye...
Horcrux of the issue...
Before a final showdown with Voldemort, harry must find and destroy as many as four Horcruxes, objects in which the Dark Lord has already hidden parts of his soul (2 others have already been neutralised). One Horcrux which Dumbledore and harry were searching for in THBP was swiped by someone with initials RAB - possibly Regulus Black, late brother of Harry's godfather Sirius (in OOTP, harry and co found a heavy locket that none of them could open in the black mansion...)
Hogwarts and all...
With the headmaster murdered by a teacher - talk about bad PR - there's some doubt the school will re-open for Harry's final year. HArry claims he won't be back regardless. But JK has said there will be a new defence against the dark arts teacher which implies that classes will resume. Plus, Voldemort might seek the gryffindor sword that Dumbledore said is safely hidden there?
Dead as a Dumbledore nail...
The late headmaster had a long tie to phoenixes (he owned one called Fawkes) suggesting the possibility of a return - perhaps to tell harry the "thrilling" story he never shared in THBP of how he grabbed the ring Horcrux. Dumbledore's portrait was last seen "slumbering"...
While I am waiting for book 7 and the 5th movie, I will content myself with the not quite as brilliant but quite exhilarating Alex Rider teen spy books... can't wait for the movie...
you're never too young to die!
